What drives eviction risk in Becks Park
What pushes it up most is economic stress at 9.4/10. Severe burden reaches 29%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Annualized rent equals 43% of average household income of $27,844, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 29.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. It sits 2.0 points above the Cook County average of 6.1.
At $1,008 a month, rents run 30% under what the rest of Chicago commands. This is renter territory: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10.
53% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Cook County average of 45.6%. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 920 filings here across 15 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2001 at 9.5% of renter households.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
